Revised Literal Translation

Isaiah 10:13-16

13For he saithH559, By the strengthH3581 of my handH3027 I have doneH6213 it, and by my wisdomH2451; for I am prudentH995: and I have removedH5493 the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971, and have robbedH8154 their treasuresH6264 H6259, and I have put downH3381 the inhabitantsH3427 like a valiantH3524 H47 man:1

14And my handH3027 hath foundH4672 as a nestH7064 the richesH2428 of the peopleH5971: and as one gatherethH622 eggsH1000 that are leftH5800, have I gatheredH622 all the earthH776; and there was none that movedH5074 the wingH3671, or openedH6475 the mouthH6310, or peepedH6850.

15Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086.2 3

16Therefore shall the LordH113, the LordH3068 H136 of ArmiesH6635, sendH7971 among his fat onesH4924 leannessH7332; and under his gloryH3519 he shall kindleH3344 a burningH3350 like the burning of a fireH784.
